Customer Reviews

Excellent.

Excellent condition. I highly recommend this seller. Shipping was fine, no problems at all in transaction.

Best overview of biomechanics, period.

This textbook provides a very comprehensive exploration of the basic fundamentals of biomechanics. It is an excellent overview of force vector, moment and torque, statics, deformable body mechanics, stress and strain, dynamics, kinetics, kinematics, and impulse and momentum. It even provides a review of the mathematics required for understanding the many concepts introduced in the book. Each chapter has examples of the principles introduced and practice exercises. As a biomechanist, I own many textbooks on biomechanics, many of which concentrate on just one of the many areas covered so concisely in this book. To me, this would be the best teaching textbook currently available.

An easy read

This book is very helpful. It is an easy read and fully explains the principles and ideas the book is trying to convey. I highly recommend purchasing it.

sufficient book

This book is to the point, easy to understand and a good addition to a library for anyone interested in biomechanics. It is simple without becoming too simple and the examples are well thought out.
